On a side note, as some of you all know, back in 2016 my family went through a flood. Some of our rifles/pistols were in it. My brother grabbed my guns for me and gave them a good cleaning as they sat in water for a couple of days. Some of these are heirlooms. There were a couple if rifles that were the wife's grandpa's and a pistol that her dad gave me as well as my 10/22. Anyway because they had rust on them, when by brother cleaned them, some of the bluing came off.
Well, it's about time I start getting these wonderful firearms in back to the condition they deserve. I know there are at home bluing kits and products, but I have seen a lot of people do a lot of really bad stuff to some really fine weapons. This is not my desired result.
I am looking for recommendations of what I can do. In the end I will likely take them to a local gun smith and probably pay a fortune to have them re-blue the guns. But I was just wondering if there is anything else out there that I am unaware of that maybe the Cadre knows about. Thanks in advance!
